There’s just something about finger foods that screams “picnic perfection”. With the Thermomix, you can create a variety of savory bites that are sure to impress. Here’s a couple of my favorites:

Mini Quiches 🥚

These bite-sized delights are a picnic staple. Use your Thermomix to whip up a quick pastry dough, then fill them with a mixture of eggs, cheese, and your favorite veggies or ham. Bake until golden brown and enjoy warm or cold!

Spinach & Cheese Pinwheels 🌿

These are as easy as they are delicious. Blend fresh spinach, feta cheese, and a touch of garlic in your Thermomix. Spread the mixture over puff pastry, roll up, slice, and bake. They’re perfect for nibbling!

Sweet Treats

No picnic is complete without a little sweetness. Here are some delightful desserts you can whip up in no time:

Lemon Tartlets 🍋

These zesty tartlets are refreshing and light. Use your Thermomix to create a smooth lemon curd, then spoon it into mini tart shells. Top with a dusting of powdered sugar for a sweet finish.

Chocolate Bliss Balls 🍫

For a healthier option, blend dates, cocoa powder, and nuts in the Thermomix. Roll into balls and coat with coconut for a sweet treat that’s guilt-free and packed with energy.

Quench your thirst with these Thermomix-made drinks that are as refreshing as they are easy to make:

Mint Lemonade 🍹

Blend fresh lemons, mint leaves, and a touch of sugar in your Thermomix. Strain and serve over ice for a refreshing drink that screams summer.
